Reaching Out

A boy left all alone in the world after being abandoned by his mother in a poor clan that treated him harshly because he started showing signs of being different from other kids and the people around him. With him being ostracized more and more he became less and less of the cheerful young kid he use to be until eventually turning discreet and mute around others in hopes that they would stop being scared of him. Though that plan never worked out for him and, in the end he was left to strive on his own as best as he could in the environment he was left in. He explored the towns library and any books he could find in his Clan even if they were useless. Years on years of doing such things eventually led him into stumbling across a book that would help push him towards the thing he wanted the most. "The Basic Guide To The Astral Path" This book may not of been special to anyone in the long run but, it was to him because, it was his new beginning. With this new path available to him would he be able to push through all the obstacles and hardships waiting for him or in the end will he stumble and fall? Or will people be there to catch him if he does once again?

A Soulless Doll

Seeing another person die by Felli's hand, Xilo moved towards the next person closest to her last location. With her teleporting everywhere there was no way he could protect everyone so he just had to predict where she would end up next and hope he was right. Everytime he was wrong one more life would be cut through and lost to the world. He had already tried calling her name a few times, but that didn't work at all sadly. She just ignored everything that was told to her almost like she couldn't hear them. "Felli..." Placing himself in front of a man who was injured by the Queen, Xilo waited for Felli to show herself.

"Be on high alert."

All of his friends had spread out to increase the odds of them stopping her from killing anyone else. "What happened to you when you left Felli?" She was so much stronger now and seemed a lot more closed off. A couple theories floated around in his mind while he waited. "There!" Without any warning a tear in space appeared in front of him as a girl stepped out of it. Long black hair that nearly fell to the ground, a beautiful face covered by most of it. Felli appeared before him swinging her sword without even a hint of hesitation. It was almost as if she didn't even see him standing there in front of her. That was a hard reality to accept but he couldn't just let her cut him into pieces.

"FellI!"

Using Ice Breaker he used the broken blade to defend himself and the person directly behind him. With their blades locked Xilo stared directly into Felli's eyes through the strands of her hair without looking away. Pushing against her power he could feel himself losing this fight. almost shouting out her name constantly he tried to get some kind of reaction from her now that he was directly in front of her. Before he couldn't tell if she was directly ignoring them or not, being this close would help answer that. "Still nothing." Regardless of how much he called out to her, he got zero response physically or through her body language. Feeling his grip slip he was pushed back.

Taking the person behind him with one arm, Xilo quickly gave up trying to fight her in a battle of strength and dragged the man away to safety. Noticing her sword failing to hit anything she paused for a quick second before shrugging her shoulders. Soon another tear in space appeared as a purple glow illuminated her sword. Travelling through it Felli moved on to the next person in line as she appeared directly in front of Xelfia. Seeing the girl she had heard so much about from Tearia appear in front of her Xelfia smiled. "So this is the great Felli?" Extending her hand out she grabbed Felli's sword with her bare hands and stopped her from killing someone else.

"Hello Felli, It's nice to meet you."

Xelfia knew she wouldn't get any response from her as the sword dug into her skin causing a slight cut. Pumping more energy into her hand she did her best to protect herself as she kept Felli pinned to the same spot. From her own rare observations she had noticed a few conditions behind Felli's teleportation. "It's far from perfect." With that in mind she refused to let go of Felli's sword. She didn't quite know how but the sword was helping her out. Purple marks lit up around whenever she disappeared and appeared in the same place. She also seemed to need a moment of concentration to teleport, if that wasn't the case she probably would have already teleported away from Xilo and herself instantly once her attack failed.

"You can run from me all you want, Xilo and Tearia though are another thing entirely. I won't let you continue to hurt them. They know you as a friend so it might be harder for them to fight but I only know the current you. A soulless doll that only moves when spoken to from it's master. Seems like a pretty accurate description for you. Not like you're listening to me though.``

Hearing Felli struggle to break free while completely ignoring her words Xelfia gave up talking as she put more pressure into her hand. If she could crush Felli's sword into pieces it would make things a lot easier. Even with all the strength she used, she didn't manage to put a scratch into it. "Sturdy." While that happened everyone was rushing over to surround Felli. Surrounding her they all put a bit of caution in their steps. None of them here wanted to hurt Felli too badly, they all knew her. Seeing Xilo and everyone else, Xelfia felt a little more confident as she attacked Felli. Water hovered above Felli's head before falling down onto her body.

Looking up at the attack coming from her, Felli gave up on her sword as she took a slight step back. Purple energy oozed out of her hand as the weight around them became extremely heavy. Watching them all fall to their knees in seconds Felli couldn't teleport nor did she have her sword. Her mother's words echoed in her head keeping her thoughts steady. Lightening her steps she went for her first target. In this situation she was forced to fight, that was fine to her. As long as she made her Mother happy then she didn't care what she had to do. Even if that involved killing. Slamming a girl to the ground with blue hair, Felli stared down at Relia who seemed to be the weakest of the group.

"You...first."

Controlling space around her she morphed the floor beneath Relia into mini spikes that dug up into her skin. Ignoring the pain in her body, Relia tried to pick herself up from the ground. Energy surged around in her body like crazy as she tried to fight against the pressure. "I can't." No matter what she did though she failed to escape as the spikes slowly got bigger and more painful. Standing over Relia, Felli took out her Astral ring as a weapon spawned in her hand. It was a longer, more elegant sword that had a clean lavender purple blade with a red hilt at the bottom with a few golden flowers engraved on it. It was the weapon her Astral Ring gave her when she was younger. Pointing it down at Relia she aimed right for her head.

Quickly picking himself up Xilo ignored his bones crying out in stress as he made his way to Felli. "Stop, please." If he didn't do anything Relia would die before his eyes. That was something he refused to see under any circumstance. Power filled his steps as he dragged his body towards Felli even with Gravity pounding him back to the ground. Ice filled his hand while his breath turned foggy. He wasn't going to make it in time at this rate. Holding his hand steady he created a small dagger and threw it at Felli. It fell to the ground before it could even make it anywhere close. "Dammit." Annoyed that his idea failed he jumped forward for a quick boost as he grabbed at Felli's body.

"I won't let you."

Grabbing Felli's waist he pulled her backwards as she swung her sword down just barely missing Relia's face in the process.

Enjoy.
